The NBA off-season is at a point where the veteran’s minimum is gold. Most teams, including the Houston Rockets, have already spent the bulk of their cap space and are looking for fairly inexpensive veteran’s to play for the minimum.
The Cleveland Cavaliers just made one more vet available. According to Shams Charania of The Athletic, the Cavaliers have just waived J.R. Smith. Yes, the same J.R. Smith who couldn’t seem to remember the score in the NBA Finals, and the same J.R. Smith who helped the Cleveland Cavaliers win an NBA title. The same Smith that shot 43% from three in that particular post-season.
